No, it isnít Wayne. Nor Jay. Sorry, not even Nas. Vibe has announced that the winner of the best rapper alive, voted by the fans is no other than Eminem.

ďItís obviously an honor to have won the fansí support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive,Ē Em said in a statement released Tuesday (October 7). ďI donít think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibeís offering the distinction, hell yeah, Iíll accept!Ē

In the NCAA formatted style bracket, the fans came down to two of their favorite MCs: Jay-Z, and Eminem. By a landslide, Eminem defeated Young Hova with a whopping 69% of votes going to him.

Vibeís music editor Sean Fennessey had this to say about Eminemís latest victory. ďEminem isnít just one of the most successful MCs of all time, heís also one of the most beloved. The proof is in the voting.Ē

Your free to believe that, but im white, and im sure as hell not checking for mister mathers let alone do i think he is the best rapper alive. Hell Idk any people at all who are curious when eminems new album is dropping..

Eminem prob is the best....u cant vote on whos hot right now because you tend to be bias on who has albums out. Ems numbers back it up too. Maybe he should be called the Peoples Champ or most Belove rapper because in the end can you really measure the best rapper?....

I think it's debatable but people are QUICK to dismiss him cuz of a few corny tracks he's done and they forget ALL the classic sh*t he's dropped:

Stan
Lose Yourself
Sing For The Moment
The Way I Am
No Apologies

...there's no denying his songwriting/rhyming genius.

homey.. please,

thats five songs maximum you could barely make a dope mixtape of eminem songs real talk. jay-z has at least 100 classic songs... nas 2 and pac and big psssh lets not even go there eminem is the greatest white rapper alive and he has above average talent. his first album was borderline classic and so was the marshall mathers lp BUT he is not op 5 he may be top ten or top 15 but he nt top 5 AND his last 3 albums were 3.5 mics each 4 if you're white and u want 2 be generous. HIs rhyming skills deterioriated each album.. and every thing I just said is real talk. VIBE magazine hasnt been accurately reporting hiphop in ten years.. its an r&b fashion magazine that features hiphop artst for sales only. They dont know sh*t. I bet they even have eminem's name on the cover of that magazine.. you know why? Cause magazine sales as a whole are down and they needed 2 sale some.
